Popcorn

One pound of unpopped popcorn is equivalent to 56 cups of popcorn. One pound of unpopped popcorn will make a lot of popcorn, so care should be made before making the entire batch.

no i think they pop the same.

LOL

Please show me one of these 'popcorn plants'.

The greatest factor in popcorn "popage" is the amount of water contained within the kernel. Kernels with little to no moisture will not pop.

I was just wondering this myself, needing to make 24 C of popcorn on the stove. I found a good rule of thumb is that each 1 Tablespoon of kernels will give you slightly over 1 cup of popped popcorn.

Unpopped kernels, duds, old maids

if you pop it on a stove its ok but microwave popcorn has chemicals that can cause cancer.
NO!!!!!!!!! Only if nothing bad like butter and/or table salt is put on it.Popcorn is made out of corn. Corn is good for your health.

12 US cups

12 cups

In US measure: 1 quart = 4 cups and 1 cup = 0.25 quart.

There are 32 US fluid ounces (2 pints or 4 cups) in 1 US quart (946.4 ml).

There are 40 Imperial fluid ounces (2 pints) in 1 Imperial quart (1,136 ml).

Note that there is no 'cup' in the Imperial system, it is best to use pints or half pints,

100 but only 75% get pop

I believe that it originated from Mexico. Seeing as the native americans/indians grew corn first, they most likely had primitive types of popcorn back then.

Thats were it originates, but whether or not its a "American food" is up for you to decide.

We sure eat a lot of it though!

It is getting too much moisture when being popped. Try an air popper for lighter popcorn.

The gas laws are a set of laws that describe the relationship between gases' temperature, pressure, and volume. These laws can be used to explain how an increase in temperature increases the pressure inside of the unpopped kernel. This increase in pressure also generates steam. The steam then explodes out of the outer shell of the kernel. As the pressure fades, the volume expands causing any air bubbles in the popcorn to grow and the kernel to "pop".

People cant do this because i makes no sense.

8oz is one cup, regardless of dry or wet.

CORRECTION: It's commonly thought that 8oz=1cup, since 8 fluid oz of liquid equals one cup. But when you measure dry in ounces you are measuring weight. To give an extreme example, 8oz of lead is about 0.073 (less than 1/13) cup.

The reason for the confusion is when you measure 8 fluid ounces, you are actually measuring the volume that is equivalent to 8 ounces of water. Not the weight of what you're really measuring.

The number of cups of rice in 8 oz of rice varies slightly depending on the type of rice, etc.

According to a volume/weight conversion calculator I found, 8 oz of rice, depending on the type of rice is:

short round - 1.08 cups

long - 1.13 cups

Basmati - 1.16 cups

rice flour - 1.42 cups

So for measuring rice for cooking you're probably safe estimating 8oz = approx. 1 1/8 cups (1.125).

Or if you're lazy like me, a heaping cup of rice will work just fine.

It varies depending on what type and brand you use. The number will be stated on the bag or packet.

however long the popcorn button on the microwave says it takes- usually 2 minutes and 20 seconds; that is the answer found on most microwave systems. It can also be found in the form of ''3.5'' which is the same as 2 minutes and 20 seconds.

Ah, popcorn is such a delightful treat, isn't it? A bag of Redenbacher's Popcorn usually weighs around 2.2 ounces or 6.5 ounces, depending on the size you choose. Remember, no matter the weight, it's all about enjoying the simple pleasures in life!

Because the popcorn starts out as seeds. When the seeds start to pop, the bag has to get bigger to hold all of the popcorn.

The air popcorn maker that make the best tasting popcorn is the 'Presto PopLite Hot Air Corn Popper' according to most of the reviews online, most reviewers say that it makes popcorn with the perfect crunchiness with very little non popped kernels and none burnt.

Depending upon the specific type of popcorn machine you are looking for, they can be purchased anywhere from a neighborhood garage sale, to a department store, to a food service supply provider. It is best to first decide exactly what type of popcorn machine one is looking for.

Popcorn is not necessarily 'healthy' for you.

It certainly should not take the place of a healthy, fruit and veggie filled diet.

But then again, popcorn is more 'healthy' for you if you buy it organic.

junior popcorn is £2.65 in Vue at Valley Park in Croydon

Add about a half cup of popping corn kernels to a brown paper bag, then seal the bag (with a rubber band or something else without metal in it) and place in the microwave for 2-3 minutes, listening until the popping starts slowing down. Remove.

Enjoy.
